Songbird Lyrics - Oooh La La - Crash Test Dummies

I listened to a bird 

that told me all 

He seemed to make no sense as I recall 

I listened to the bees, their buzzing sounds 

Told nothing of the purpose of their rounds 

The claws that tear, the fangs that bite 

The placid pond, the bird in flight 

The lion stalking 'round his kill 

The flowers purpose on the hill 

I looked out at the trees that gently swayed 

They didn't need to know how they were made 

I wondered if the world kept something hid 

Denied to me, for something that I did 

The claws that tear, the fangs that bite 

The placid pond, the bird in flight 

The lion stalking 'round his kill 

The flowers purpose on the hill 

I listened to a bird that told me all 

He seemed to make no sense as I recall 

So far I haven't heard a songbird sing 

A single verse that told me anything 

The claws that tear, the fangs that bite 

The placid pond, the bird in flight 

The lion stalking 'round his kill 

The flowers purpose on the hill
